Huh?

He’d be perfect next to Zion.

Ball could be a pass only PG with Zion / Giannis / Ingram.

The only question is would Ball be better 2G or could we pull someone from the bench to fill the role.

Then again who cares, they would be 4th in the offense.

Imagine having games where no matter what you have either Zion or Giannis on the court. Walking 30 PER’s.

We will win games on sheer talent alone.

Perfect seems pretty strong. They both "hunt" in the same areas and have similar strengths and weaknesses. I definitely have some questions about fit because of the redundancy. With Boogie and AD both had enough perimeter skills that you didn't feel parking one outside to create space was a complete waste of talent.

Maybe the GIannis/Zion and Zion/Giannis P&Rs would be unstoppable. I'm not saying I wouldn't do it, but if all we get is 6 months to a year to prove it can work or he walks for nothing, there are enough fit questions that I'm not paying a kings ransom for it.

Zion/Giannis/Zo in a lineup, while obviously still formidable especially with BI, but that would make things "easy" for teams to just build the wall so Zion and Giannis couldn't easily get to the hole.

That team severely lacks shooting. You'd have to trade Zo if we get Giannis, 100%. Even though he shot a solid 3pt% last season, he has zero gravity, which will make things tougher for the Zion/Giannis combo considering both of them also have zero gravity long range.

No doubt. But I think we'd have major issues in the 4th quarter of big time postseason games with that top 4.
